Re: Ginger makes me feel better. Am I the only one?

Well lets take the warning that ginger could make things worse for some seriously. At the same time, the mechanism or likelihood is up for discussion of course. That's a legit point. However, questioning the mechanisms is mostly interpreted as "denying" someone experienced many symptoms. ...

Re: Ginger makes me feel better. Am I the only one?

I said chronic use.. "once in awhile" you'll be fine but still risky. Receptors don't normally desensitize with acute usage but not always. Consuming an inch of ginger root a day is not even that much but for someone with pssd it can be harmful over a period of time obviously. Pssd severi...

Re: DOPAMINE, ED AND TRIAL

Re: Ginger makes me feel better. Am I the only one?

Both plus cognition plus fatigue plus emotional numbness. Everything improves. That's interesting. I have taken ginger+turmeric tea, it feels great, it feels good on digestion, also being anti-nausea.

Re: Safe medications?

I'm back, thanks for the replies. I tried the NAC but it doesn't do anything, I'm trying some herbs and I have some small improvements, but not enough. p.s. I've been doing psychotherapy for 15 months. I think I absolutely have to take some medicine to get better (I'm thinking more and more about s...
